Exotec

Exotec develops the Skypod system, a fleet of autonomous mobile robots that climb storage racks in three dimensions to retrieve and deliver goods, achieving throughput rates that rival Amazon's proprietary warehouse automation. The company has deployed its systems with major retailers and logistics operators across Europe, North America, and Asia, becoming France's most recent tech unicorn. Exotec provides Europe with a homegrown alternative in the warehouse robotics market otherwise dominated by American and Chinese players, securing a critical link in the continent's supply chain and logistics infrastructure.
